FILM STAR ARRIVES

Details of Famous Exploit

THE British submarines Sal- mon and Ursula, whose exploits thrilled the country a few days ago, were in the news again recently.

Decorations and promotions for the commander of the Salmon and members of his crew were announced by the Ad-. miralty. Earlier in the day the Ursula received an ovation when she returned to her base.

Lieutenant Commander Edward Oscar Bickford, of the Salmon, has been awarded, the Distinguished Service Order. He has also been promoted to the rank of commander. The third Naval D.S.O. of the war. Commander Blekford Is . 30-year- old bachelor, whose home is at War- sash, near

to the world a draft of his "Declara tion of the Rights of Man" (it ap- peared in the News Chrontale on October 20). Around that 10-point

His Definition

"This new. and complete Revalu- tion can be defined in a very few, words," he writes. "It is:

time it ut its compactest, it in the triangle of Socialism, Law and -Knowledge - which --frames! the Revolution which may yet! save the world."

No More Versailles

To this end, Wells advocated a great world debate which must go on now, debate of all the people. He thinks that it is incredibly foolish to talk of ending the war and then having a World Conference to inaugurate a

new age.

"So soon as the fighting stops the real world conference, the live dis- cussion, will stop too. The diplomats and politicians will assemble with on air of profound competence and close the doors upon the outer world and resume-Versailles."

Abolition of Distanco The present war does not touch upon the essential problem (the abali- tion of distance), thinks Mr. Wells.

"It may Indeed destroy everything and stili sottle nothing. If one could wipe out all the issues of the present conflict we should still be confronted with the essential riddle, which is the| abolition of the boundaries of most existing sovereign. States and their merger in some larger Pax..... Treaties and mutun) guarantees are not enough,'

To achieve his ideal state of world collectivisation after the peoples have

to tackle the problem, he sug agreed to geals n confession of universal wrong- thinking and wrong-doing.

A revolution-an effort at social and political readjustment is bound to come in Germany, Britain, univer- sally, likely off-shoot of the "exas- perating

ting diminuendos and crescendos of the war."

It is on the tide of the revolution that Mr. Wells expecta victory for his New World Order to travel.

'I Am Human Being,"

Says Judge

A 31-year-old woman accused of bigamy, at Cardiff Assizes, was told by Mr. Justice Hawke:

"I suppose I ought not to say that a man and woman, not marled, ought to go on living together, but I am a human being and I think It is the best thing for you."

The woman, Dorla Smth, had adj mitted bigamously marrying Thomas, Smith, aged 45, à Breman.

Both were sentenced to two days' Imprisonment.

Miss Chen is expected to make two films while she is in the Colony.

Latvia's mark is "on a white disc, ́a red 'fylot or swastika.” As-with Finland, the cross stands squarely on Its base.

These marks appear on the fuse lages of plants; the German swastika is painted on the tall.

Since the Nazis adopted the swasti ka as their particular emblem, much has been written about its origin and mystic significance.

Ancient Indian Name

It is one of the oldest known amu- letle signs, and is generally believed to have been invented by the primi Live Aryans--hence its adoption by the Nazis,

Swastika Is 'the ancient Indian name which, according to philologists means "fortunate" or "lucky."

Some of the early Christian mystics saw in the two lines at right angles a symbol of Christ as a corner-stone, and architects and designers of the Middle Ages used the sign, freely in their reliefs and patterns.

Path Of The Sun

In its right-hand or "dexter" form the swastika wis supposed to sym- bolize the path of the sun from east to west, and in its left-hand or "sinister" form on the Germans use it, the path of the sun at night from west to cast.
